Quinoa Burgers

This was my first time making these burgers. Honestly they kinda intimidated me. I've read a bunch of recipes and I kinda came up with this one. Once I made them I realized I can use any ingredients and still make this awesome. This made 12 patties.
 
I put 2 cups of quinoa w 2 cups vegetable broth and 2 cups water in the rice cooker. I had a can of chickpeas in the pantry so I rinsed those and put in a pot to boil. The spices are dried thyme, cumin, dried cilantro, and minced garlic. The flour is for later. I chopped parsley, carrots, celery and bell pepper.

saute the veggies and spices

Once the quinoa and chickpeas are done put 1c of quinoa and 1/2 of the chickpeas on the side. Put the rest in a food processor with the veggie mixture along with the flour (2tbs). Pulse it but not too much. You dont want mush. 

Mash the quinoa and chick peas together then add to mixture
 


Add some soy sauce. This little fish is about tablespoon.


I used a 1/2c measuring cup to keep the burgers the same size.
 
I sprayed the pan and then browned both sides.

This was my Easter dinner so good! I topped my burger with kale and avocado

Avocado.

If I cut an avocado will you eat the other half? Pokey What are you...brand new? Me I'm in LOVE w avocado. For dinner I had left over veggies from Monday I stuffed them in my avocado w red pepper hummus. Dinner was great.  We need to go grocery shopping. We only had 3 slices of bread. I asked Pokey if I could use all 3. He was like sure go ahead. So I did!!!  Yup. That's a club lol. Hummus, tomato, avocado,spinach, bread then I repeated it all over again.  Isn't that beautiful!  I love it.  I didn't plan on eating sweet potato tots. It just happened lol. Lunch was amazing.

Berry Smoothie

I haven't been eating "dinner" it's more like smoothies. I'm lazy and tired at the moment and the easiest thing for me to do is make a smoothie. No judging.  His and Hers Smoothie: blackberry, strawberry, blueberry and chia seeds w almond milk. All the berries were frozen. I didn't measure. I just eyeballed it. I made enough for 2 16oz glass jars.
